Everyone needs to go read up about Jacksonianism. I'll wait... Okay long enough. Wilsonians are the Clinton wing of the Democratic party. They are also all through the State Department and to a great extent the the 'permanent bureaucracy' in DC. (Though they've lately been…
The Victorian Socialists support breaking into homes and squatting so I thought I would take a sleeping bag and pillow and try sleep in their front office for a few nights. They threatened to call the police on me even though I told them I was in need of housing. So fucked up
Buddy from back in my day in the Army is retiring today. 40 years. Where'd they go?
Pro tip. If you are in the Baltimore area traveling do not set your navigation to no tolls! On the other hand, just got some great on the ground research of the ghettos of baltimore! So there's that!
What an amazing man, Thank you for your service Mark Severino 🇺🇸
I got to the point I'd be egging on the 'instructors' while maskless. 'Okay, now remove your mask! Why aren't you running out?' 'Why? Is there something in the air...? THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE AIR TONIGHT, OH, LORD... When do you release the CS?' 'Just get the fuck out,…
The best part is when they made you remove the mask
This is massive truth. I struggled with math my whole life until a really good NCO finally got me to understand WRM. Width equals range times mils. Which means width over range equals mils. Etc. After that, math just got EASY. To the point I later aced calculus. If I hadn't…
Human brains are neural nets and neural nets work by context. Mathematicians don't understand this, and it's why they are terrible math teachers. They do not understand that "What is this used for?" does not mean "Tell me vehemently that it's important." It means "Give me a…
Love that in Band of Brothers they’re like “you’re gonna have to take Neunen strategically” and in The Pacific they’re like “we’re sending you guys into an area the Japanese call ‘The Valley Of Killing Everyone’”
ABSOLUTELY INSANE The Biden Admin setup a hotline so that unaccompanied minors could call if they had trouble with the strangers they were being placed with 65,000 calls to this hotline WENT UNANSWERED “So you’re telling this committee that the Biden administration, while they…
Bring back the Bat Bomb. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb What the article doesn't point out clearly was that every test (including the initial one) was wildly successful. The initial one burned down the base. Which was sort of the point.
During WW2's combined bomber offensive, unitary incendiary bombs were found to be five times as effective as high explosive, mass for mass, at destroying buildings & structures. But the bomber barons were hung up on the tonnage delivered, not their effects. Success Metrics🧵 1/
With Islam, there can be no theological dialogue, because the essential foundations of the Christian faith are very different from those of the Muslims. –Cardinal Robert Sarah
The U.S. Olympic Committee has announced it will comply with President Trump's Executive Order banning men from competing in women's sports. It’s hard to applaud an organization for merely following the law, but nonetheless, this is a win. outkick.com/sports/usa-oly…
The US Army presented an "innovative development" - for the first time, a grenade was dropped from a drone. A few hours later, the post was deleted... to avoid embarrassment
RIP Ozzy Osbourne Just two weeks ago he fought through Parkinson’s to give his fans one last show in Birmingham
Something like this was how I created the map of Marduk. I took a map of Earth in the Cretaceous and cut it up enough it wasn't obvious.

Started the Shrimp Crusades have! The Shrimp shall not pass! Crangon Delenda Est!
Cross posted from a comment to ESR: Work ethic gets you to _study_ the rotation of shapes so that you can rotate them in your head. Let me give you the wellspring of my skepticism. I had 780 Math GREs which, most people would surely agree, are pretty good. I never paid…
